When the work is of God, it is complete in itself. It does not matter if it is revelation, healing or evangelism; the Lord will never leave you doubting. In fact, He only speaks to those who are accustomed to hearing His voice and obeying Him. The Scriptures declare: For God is not the author of confusion (1 Corinthians 14:33a). So only do something if you feel the divine direction. Do not force your mind to understand something the Most High did not tell you.
When announcing to Mary that she would bear a son, the angel greeted her, telling her to rejoice, for she was highly favored (Luke 1:28). He also said: The Lord is with you. This was unnecessary to say; after all, if he carried a message from the Almighty, it was because God saw that He could entrust her with a mission. Something similar can happen to you. When He speaks to you, He will put you to the test, knowing that you will accomplish the task.
When she heard the angel say those words, Mary was troubled. Those who fear God take Him seriously. That occurred because she did not want to disappoint Him. Caring for the Lord´s harvest worries those who hear Him. It´s not about doubting, but the feeling of never wanting to disappoint Him who loved them to the point of entrusting them with one of His works. He knows who He’s dealing with!
The messenger from on High immediately explained to Mary, “You have found favor with God” (Luke 1:30). This is for those whom the Lord has commissioned to spread the Word, evangelizing or sponsoring this work. For this, God touches the person´s heart, not their mind. Therefore, just obey the divine invitation, because it is He that gives the seed.
The Son of God had a unique mission. What the Most High tells us will also be special otherwise He will not make such a statement. Although your call is simple, trust the Most High, because He gives those He has called the necessary anointing to fulfill His will. Mary was a virgin, but that gestation was not of man but holy.
Prepare yourself and say yes to the Lord. Now, for you to do what you were told, believe that God will clothe you with authority in order to fulfill your part. It has always been this way. However, some people allowed the devil to work in their lives and lost everything. Why didn´t Saul obey the commands he received from Samuel, and Judas Iscariot let Satan into his heart?
The Word instructs you not to fear, for what the Lord proposes to you is great. You will never regret if you follow the guidelines. In fact, when He commissioned you, the Lord shows that He loves you, and on the Day of Reckoning, He will reward you. Do not be afraid to obey God, for He will enable you!
In Christ with love,

God, Lord of our life! We want to be prepared for the good works. Then, in Judgment, we will receive the just reward that You have for those that obey You. No matter what the mission is! You will use us as You wish!
Talk to us, but first, instruct us so that we will give You due attention. We do not want to be among rebels or reckless people. Lord! We wish to do Your will in everything.
Just as it happened with Mary, the same will happen to us. May we learn to serve and love You, for on the last day we will receive the reward from Your hands. Thank You for giving us the tools needed. All glory be give to You!
